Interfaces for Capture Applications

You can configure many elements of a capture graph, such as filters, pins, and encoders, and even devices by setting values for the properties associated with them. The following interfaces are used to set and get values for properties.

• IKsPropertySet
  
• IPersistPropertyBag
  
• IPropertyBag
  

Just as with playback applications, filters are the building blocks of a capture application. The following interfaces allow you to control individual filters and assemble those filters into filter graphs.

• ICaptureGraphBuilder2
  
• IFileSinkFilter2
  
• IImageSinkFilter
  
• ISmartTee
  

The following interfaces allow you to setup, control, and monitor the performance of capture data streams.

• IAMBufferNegotiation
  
• IAMDroppedFrames
  
• IAMStreamConfig
  
• IAMStreamControl
  
• IAMVideoCompression
  

The following interfaces allow you to control the properties of a camera device and to manipulate the video parameters of the captured data.

• IAMCameraControl
  
• IAMVideoControl
  
• IAMVideoProcAmp
  

The following interfaces allow you to capture audio data.

• IAudioRendererWaveOut
